What type of cichlid is it?

My mainganos are mouthbrooders, and keeping her alone would be best, the male will chances are eat the fry as the emerge from her mouth.

She will not spit them out until she is ready to do so. Mine eat until there is no more room to do so, as in the fry have filled their mouth, they get thin, but as soon as they spit them they make up by eating like madwomen lol
